BLACKPINK
The group BLACKPINK called for changes and participation in climate behavior for a better future at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), where leaders from around the world gathered.
According to its agency YG Entertainment, on November 3rd, BLACKPINK delivered a message to world leaders via a video during the World Leaders’ Summit hosted by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on November 1-2.
First, ROSE said: “The response to climate change is the most important problem of the current era“, and recalled, “six years ago in Paris, we promised to keep the increase in Earth’s average temperature below 1.5 degrees, and recently the UN, The Climate Change Committee, warned that there were fewer opportunities to achieve this. “
LISA said: “What we were afraid of is already happening. Serious changes are harming the Earth. If the Earth’s average temperature rises by two degrees, not only a third of the world’s population will be continually exposed to extreme heat, but also environmental problems like drought will be hard hit. “
Then JENNIE said, “If the temperature does not stop rising, the coral reefs will disappear and the sea ice will melt and completely destroy nature,” and stressed:
« We must act now for a better future ».
JISOO said: “Above all, it is important to have a sense of responsibility. We can only respond to climate change if we are all together.” She then stressed to world leaders: “Please make the necessary decisions so that we can continue to protect our planet now and in the future.”
Finally, BLACKPINK said, “We the BLINKs (name of the fandom) and the world are all going to watch and be together,” and added, “Please work together to get Earth to work on climate behavior. “
In line with the good influence of BLACKPINK, YG Entertainment is also making various changes in environmental protection. While efforts are needed across the recording industry, YG Entertainment, a large global agency, is showing its willingness to stand at the starting point of change.
YG Entertainment said, “We are considering digital packs that make the most of paper rather than vinyl when producing albums or MD, and in addition, we are receiving and verifying plastic samples biodegradable from corn starch. We believe this can be applied to various products in the future.”
